Thank you!  Now zsh works finely.  Indeed It is the better patch
for the present practically.

But it is somewhat incomplete.  Try this:

	% emacs -nw
	[type ^Z to suspend emacs]
	% bg
	% fg
	[type ^X^C to terminate emacs]

You will see that the bg command needs a fix, too.  The
following is it:

  	    else if (func == BIN_BG) {


By the way, bash, tcsh and the old zsh-2.3.1 do well on the
above example, too.  They seem free from the emacs problem
entirely.  Moreover, zsh-2.3.1 does not ignore the stty changes
done by a job started in the background.  In spite of its many
bugs and shortcomings, the old zsh-2.3.1 seems very robust and
good in this particular respect... *sigh*
